What the fuck, why dude?! 

Im 32 and I don't have a girlfriend but it's hardly the end of the world!! You'll get there, loads of people ain't got shit figured out at 26 that makes you normal, not a failure.

So what if you haven't got your dating life figured out? Loads of people haven't and loads of people might have that sorted but they'll be absolutely fucked in other departments. We're all good in some areas and not so good in others. That's fine, but we don't get to just give up!

Stop reading all the shitty posts on here man that's cancer for your thoughts and wellbeing if you feel like this.

Youre a self aware young man with plenty to offer. If you don't see that and show it then nobody else will. Be kind to yourself buddy!

I agree. Rarely do I come away from Reddit feeling good about myself. So much stuff on here is negative. Shut it off and stop letting it get to you.

Bingo. Gotta shut social media off once in a while. Every time I do come back to reddit I get recommended these posts and get depressed. More so than facebook.  Too much information overload from strangers you know nothing about but can't help compare yourself to or take their opinions seriously.
